Drinking NYC tap water is good for you

Thank goodness, the water we're drinking in NYC is clean. The Major's Office and the EPA announced yesterday that we're all ok to drink water out of the tap. We are one of the few large cities in this country not required to filter our drinking water.

So, come to New York and enjoy the waters!!

Health Risks for Children

20% of children in the poorest parts of the world will not live past their fifth birthday. The WHO has released a report into children's environmental exposure. Children are more vulnerable if living in poor / degraded conditions, but regardless of where we live the vulnerability exists. Not only are we what we eat, we are what we breathe, and live in.
